Love it!!! Let’s go Arlo!!
#WORTHTHEWATCH Minutes before his flight to go to Los Angeles for Oscars weekend I spoke with Arlo Washington, the man featured in the Oscar-nominated short documentary, “The Barber of Little Rock!" The film follows Washington who is a Little Rock barber and his non-profit ‘PEOPLE Trust Loan Fund’ as it takes a unique look at the nation's widening racial wealth gap. Make sure to watch this full story only on @KARK4News & @FOX16News @LITAirport #OscarNod! #OscarAwards! #OscarWorthy!

Inspiring to hear @SBAIsabel talk with @HaroldPettigrew about the importance of #CDFIs as @SBAgov partners in reaching #smallbiz that need capital most to build wealth in their communities, combat #climatechange, scale up #tech, and so much more. #SBFF23 @OppFinance
